Good start for Lehigh

Lehigh leads Lafayette 10-0 with just over 7 minutes gone in this 144th meeting on College Hill.

So far, virtually everything has gone the Brown and White's way.

First, Tim Diamond roars through the middle on a blitz and pounded Lafayette QB and Parkland grad Marc Quilling as he threw the ball, leading to an interception by Heath Brickner. That set up Lehigh at their own 49. A big 23-yard strike to Mike Fitzgerald leads to a 40-yard field goal by Jason Leo. Wow, is that a great omen for Lehigh or what?

After holding the Leopards without a first down on their next possession, Matt McGowan, back in action for the first time since Nov. 1, gets a first down with a clutch third-down carry and then J.B. Clark finds a wide-open Mike Fitzgerald for a 29-yard TD pass.

So, it's 10-0.

Can they sustain this fast start?

Too early to tell, but the coordinators are making all of the right calls and the players are executing.
